Judengasse Museum

The other day, as I was taking one of my walks around the city, I stumbled upon  the Museum Judengasse (Jews' Alley), one of two Jewish museums in Frankfurt.  This one is quite small and was built around the remains  of a mikveh (ritual bath) found when this area was being renovated after the destruction of World War II.  This area was where the Jewish Ghetto was since the 1500's.  There is a Jewish cemetery adjacent to this site.  There was a lot of strife trying to decide what to do with this area, once these foundations were unearthed.  So the pictures show the museum (with business offices above the museum - a compromise as to what to do with this site) - the curves of the building simulate the waves of the Main River, which is very near by; a view of the cemetery from 1272; a placard commemorating the cemetery and its history (and a picture of our friend Jeremy who has a translation business here in Frankfurt who did the English translation for this sign). There are then three pictures  of the wall surrounding the cemetery.  This wall is lined with row upon row of names of Jews who were interned and died.  The last picture is of the street signs indicating the various names for this site over the centuries.
